Eliza had enough friends in Gryffindor that she could barge in without any real fanfare, making her sudden and dramatic entrance only garner a few looks. She looked around until she found that lovely shock of deep red hair. She headed over to Lily, clad in sweatpants and unlaced combat boots - a tell tale sign for those who knew her that she got dressed in two minutes and was therefore in the midst of a breakdown. “Liles,” she said, miraculously keeping her voice even. “I need to talk to you.” She paused for a moment, softening her voice. “That sounded bad. We’re not like breaking up or anything, obviously. And I’m not about to like yell at you or anything. Like it’s not bad,” she paused again, about to ramble for several more painstaking seconds. “It’s not good either but like.. can we just talk for a bit?”
